How to get a Resale tax id?

You get this at your county court house. They will ask "How much money do you think you'll make?" This is how they determine how much to charge you. It's best to reply that you don't know for sure since it's a new business - and tell them "maybe four or five hundred a month." If you say a big amount of money the fee will be big. After you get the Tax number, it doesn't matter how much you make. -- This would be a county or municipality business license.

A resale tax id is needed for states that have a sales tax on the purchase of products. All but five states (Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon) have sales tax. The easiest way to find out how to apply in the state you are in is by going to the state's web site and then to their revenue department. You can find state web sites on the web site . Once you are on the state's revenue department website you will be looking for information about sales or use tax. If you can't find this information call the revenue department and they will be glad to help you since this means income for the state. Vendors who are requiring you provide a resale id are going to want you to put the number on a resale exemption certificate which you can find at the same site at. This allows the vendor to sell you their product without them charging you sales tax.
